"DOCTORING OLD TIME"
A Striking Picture-A Revival of Odd
Time Simplicities.

In one Of Harper's issues is given very
fine illustration of Roberts celebrated paint
ing, known as " Doctoring Old Time. 1t
represents typical old-timer, with his bel
lows, blowing the dust from an ancient
clock, with its cords and weights carefully
secured. One of these clocks in this genera
ton IS appreciated only as rare relic.
The suggestive name. DOctorIng Old
Time" brings to our mind another version
of the title, used for another purpose, Odd
Time Doctoring"
We learn, through a reliable source, that
one OF the enterprising proprietary medicine
firms Ui the country has been for years in
sestigating tie formulas and medical pfeua-
tatiUiIs used in the beginning uitliis century,
and even before, with view of asoel tanning
why people in our -grandiather- time
enjoyed heath and physical yigor so ses-
dom found i'll the present generation they
How think they have secured the secret Of
secrets. They find that the prevailing opin-
ion that then existed. that Nature has
remedy Tor every existing disorder, wa.
true and acting under this be ief our grand
parents used the common herbs and plants.
Continual uespass upon the forest domain,
has made these herbs less abundant, and
has driven them further rom civilization,
until they have been discarded as remedial
agents because of the difficulty of obtaining
them.
ii. III. Warner. proprietor of Warner ;
Safe CuTe, and founder of the Warner OBJ
servatory Rochester, \. Y, has been press
ing investig ations in this direction, into the
annals Of old family histories, until he bas
secured some very valuable formulas, from
which his firm is now preparing medicines,
to be sold by all druggists.
They WILL we learn, be known under the
general title of 50 Warmers Log Cabin REM
edies." Among these medicines will be
Sarsaparilla." for the blood and liver,
Log Cabin Hops and Buchu Remedy. for
the stomach, etc, " Log CABIN Cough and
Consumpt on Remedy" I.,medy called
Scalpine," tor the hair, Log Cabin EX-
tract, for internal and external use, and an
old valuable discovery for Catarrh, called
&c Log Cabin Rose Cream" Among the list
Is also Log Cabin Plaster, and - Log
Cabin Liver Pill"
From the number of remedies, it will be
seen thai they do not propose to cure all
diseases with one preparation. 1t IL beleVed
by many that with these remedies net"
era is to dawn upon suffering humanity,
and that the close of the nineteenth century
will see these roots and herbs, as COM
pounded under the title of Warmers Log
Cabin Remedies, as popular as they We're at
its beginning. Although they come in the
forI. of proprietary medicines, yet they
will be none the less welcome, for suffering
humanity has become tired of modern doc
toring and the public has great confidence
in any remedies put up by the firm oi
which II. III. Warner is the head. The peo-
pie have became suspicious of the effects OF
doctoring with poisonous drugs. Few real
ize the in urious effects following the
prescriptions of many modern physicians
These effects of poisonous drugs, already
prominent will become more pronounced
in coming generations. Therefore we can
| cordially wish the old-fashioned new rene
dies the best of success.
